checkpatch: categorize some long line length checks
Many lines of code extend beyond the maximum line length. Some of these
are possibly justified by use type.
For instance:
structure definitions where comments are added per member like:
struct foo {
type member; /* some long description */
And lines that don't fit the typical logging message style
where a string constant is used like:
SOME_MACRO(args, "Some long string");
Categorize these long line types so that checkpatch can use a command-line
--ignore=<type> option to avoid emitting some long line warnings.
One of the existing checkpatch exclusions allowed kernel-doc argument
documentation to exceed 80 columns because old versions of kernel-doc
required single line documentation. The requirement was removed in 2009
so remove that exclusion.
Add documentation to make the test a bit clearer.
